EPD catches suspected burglar

Eureka Police Department officers responding to a burglary alarm on the 3400 block of O Street in Eureka Friday night arrested one juvenile after tracking him through Sequoia Park.

The first officer who arrived at the scene after 9 p.m. saw two people walking away from the residence, according to a press release. The duo subsequently fled into Sequoia Park after the officer tried to contact them. More officers arrived and, together with a K9, they set up a perimeter around the park. One of the two subjects, a 16-year-old juvenile, was arrested on suspicion of burglary, resisting arrest, public intoxication, and possession of concentrated cannabis, the release said.

The other suspect was not located. Based up evidence and video surveillance at the scene, the release said it appears the juveniles were checking car door handles before breaking into the home.
